“Awkward pacing, whole scenes that came to nothing in the end, ridiculous dialogue and directing choices, so I decided to take matters into my own hands and change what I could. I want to be very clear, this is my own artistic interpretation of how these scenes could come together to make something that works best for me personally.”
Patterson isn’t selling his version to make money, and he encouraged anyone who sees his edit to also have an account. Disney+, so “we are supporting all the original artists on this show by not allowing this to become a means of piracy.” Patterson’s TikTok video announcing the fan edition has garnered 1.5 million views and counting.
Obi Wan Kenobi was originally going to be a Star Wars movie
The decision to create a film version of the limited series Obi-Wan Kenobi returns the project to its origins. The show was originally conceived as a feature film and lucasfilm he intended to create an entire film trilogy centered around McGregor reprising the character.
The screenwriter stuart beattie he had “story by” and/or writing credits on multiple “Obi-Wan” episodes, but told The Direct he was only credited because he was planning the first film in the planned “Obi-Wan” film trilogy.
“I wrote the movie they based the show on,” Beattie said. “I spent like a year, year and a half working on it. And then when the decision was made not to do any more spin-off movies after ‘Solo’ came out, I left the project and moved on to other things. Joby [Harold] came and took my scripts and turned them from two hours to six. So, I didn’t work with them at all, I just got credit for the episodes because they were all my stuff.”
Development of the Obi-Wan film was halted after the box office failure of Solo: A Star Wars Storyand the creative team at lucasfilm focused on making a series for Disney+.
“It was ‘Solo’ that changed the direction of the system,” said Beattie. “Personally, I like ‘Solo,’ but it hadn’t made a lot of money…it certainly crushed us. Devastated, absolutely devastated. But that’s the business, you know, ups and downs.”
All six episodes of Obi-Wan Kenobi are available on Disney+.
